Clears throat...

My girlfriend told the police she'd been graped.

Don't you mean raped, asked the officer?

No, there was a bunch of them!

Hopefully they were seedless, wouldn't want her getting pregnant.

People who cough without covering their mouth. Usually old, jakey men.

I'll raise you folk who cough into their hand, then reach out with it to shake yours. They don't even have the excuse of ignorance.

Films/TV shows where people pick up a phone and immediately start talking.

Also when they always find a parking spot in a major city right outside or over the road from the building they are about to enter.

Setting myself up for a storm of abuse here, but...

People who call their kids after themselves. Are they so unimaginative that they can't think of a different name? Or do they feel that the world can't get on without them so producing a Mini-Me will somehow ease the sorrow when they pop their clogs?

Okay, fill your boots...

About 100 years ago Bob Hope played a character in a film called Lawrence L. Lawrence.

He was asked what the "L" stood for.

"Lawrence" he replied, "My parents didn't have much imagination"

The name thing is a difficult one. Trying to keep a straight face when hearing the names of some of the kids in our baby group was difficult, but it just seems to be standard that kids have odd names these days.

As a parent the rules are fairly simple when picking a name. Think long and hard about what embarrassing nicknames your kids name can get made into before choosing one , and if you want to go for an unusual spelling think about how willing you are to put up with years of misspelled birthday cards , cake decorations name badges etc .... Bonus points if you can avoid naming them after a character in whatever that years popular films/TV shows are.

See that's what we didn't do and now our daughter has the initials 'BJ'.
